Looking for some of the best hot dogs New York City has to offer? Check out our friends at Papaya King. Identifying themselves with the motto “accept no imitations”, this hot dog heaven is bringing you classic, one-of-a-kind franks and delicious tropical drinks.

Started back in 1931 by a Greek immigrant striving to pursue the American Dream, Papaya King began as a juice bar called Tropical Hawaiian Drinks. Owner, Gus Poulos, opened the stand to express his passion for blending up fresh, fruity drinks. However, not everybody in NYC had the same love for juice that Gus did right away. It took time, but eventually, Gus’s juice bar began to take off. However, it was when Gus married a young German woman and began serving frankfurters at his joint that Papaya King was put on the map. New Yorkers fell in love with Gus’s refreshing juices and savory hot dogs.

Today, Papaya King is still keeping things as classic as they can; serving quality franks and delicious drinks to happy and loyal customers. And, they’re being noticed for their efforts—Julia Child said that Papaya King serves the “best hot dogs in New York” and Martha Stewart named them one of her “guilty pleasures.”

It’s quite obvious that the magic that made Papaya King such a hit in the first place is still as present as ever. They’re still serving up classic Franks with toppings such as chili, cheese, and peppers as well as All Beef Sausages with coleslaw & pickles and Sautéed Onions & Peppers with Chili. Plus, they still have all of their amazing tropical drinks to try such as Papaya Pride or Banana Daiquiri.

We’re sure that no matter what you try at Papaya King, it’ll bring you back to old school New York City. And, if you want to bring the family oriented, welcoming Papaya King vibe to the office, take advantage of our catering options. Celebrate #NationalHotDogDay right with the best hot dogs around from this amazing restaurant.

On a huge screen with hundreds of fans, you can’t really go wrong with this free outdoor soccer celebration. Bring a blanket, some friends and enjoy the local food vendors under the archway on a huge projection screen.

This Irish pub in Greenwich Village is where huge soccer/football fans come out and cheer for their teams. If you’re looking for a rowdy experience with people who live and breathe the sport, Mr. Dennehy’s is the place for you.

“Where football is religion” is the motto of this bar and it definitely shows. This consistently packed bar has its share of soccer lovers and people who are just along for the World Cup ride. The energy at Nevada Smiths is always through the roof, so be prepared for a rowdy experience.

This pub is the ultimate place to drink and watch soccer (but while you’re there, call it football!) with a slew of intense British fans that are obsessed with a bit of football. Enjoy traditional British food and drink great beer with some of the biggest supporters of the sport.

Embrace the beautiful weather and head over the Rockefeller Center for some World Cup viewing. It’s the best of both words: 6 big screens for World Cup viewing and great lounging areas. Try out festive World Cup themed cuisine, great drinks and incredible views!

Honorable Mentions:

Banter Barin Williamsburg- They’re running a “World Cup Beer Passport” special. Try beers from 24+ of the World Cup countries and be entered to win discounts and prizes.

Jack Demsey’s – Another bar for die hard fans, especially if you’re American. When the US beat against Ghana, people rallied outside to celebrate.

Here at FoodtoEat, we’re constantly in search of the best Bloody Mary. So, when we saw the latest work of art from Sobelman’s Pub and Grill in Milwaukee, WI, we just had to spread the word.

We’ve all seen Bloody Mary’s with celery, olives, perhaps even a picked vegetable or two. Even bacon Bloody Mary’s are increasing in popularity. NYC’s Double Down Saloon, a dive bar in every sense of the term, serves “Bacon Mary’s” complete with a Slim Jim stirrer.
